Privateers Rum Ex-Bourbon Barrel Cask Strength

57.1% ABV
Fermented, distilled, aged, and bottled in Massachusetts!

While I am typically not a rum fan, I recently had a pick from these guys which was finished in toasted bourbon barrels.Delicious 😋. So when I had the opportunity to grab another release from them, I figured, why not?

Aroma: Buttery, flaky pie crust, vanilla extract right from the container, dried tropical fruit.

Tasting notes: Bready with a hint of chocolate, black licorice and vanilla comes through. Drinks under proof, but has a good long finish.

Remarks: Not a big rum guy, so my tasting notes are probably all over the place. But this was good! Definitely won’t shy away from another one of their releases.

Double Oaked

Indiana made, aged 4 and 1/2 years then finished in a second charred new oak barrel for 8 months. Coming in at 109.6 proof

Aroma: sweet caramel, honey, vanilla, spice.

Tasting notes: Charcoal, bitter oak, vanilla, spice, and a little corn sweetness. A short to medium finish. Drinks slightly lower than proof.

Score: 78, definitely my kind of whiskey. If you haven’t had one, give it a shot. Easy bottle to drain. Won’t break the wallet.

Remarks: Family run business on a farm in Indiana. Not only do they make whiskey, they make wine, brandy, and Starlight grows some of the ingredients for all of the above. Enjoyed everything I have had from them.

horizontal

1st is aged in American oak
2nd is in ex bourbon casks
3rd is ex Sherry casks

Do you see a difference in color? Should you? What color is YOUR bush? Like “what’s in your wallet?” Only funnier.

Food for thought:
Bushmills is dumped into large vats before bottling. Additionally, caramel coloring can be added to Irish whiskey.

Let me know what you think in the comments!

Grand Wine and Spirits store pick

Aroma: Vanilla, spice, twizzlers, char, shortbread

Tasting notes: Maraschino cherry, vanilla, awesome tannins and barrel char present. Pleasant spice with a medium-long caramel finish.

Score: 86, heck of a pour for $30. At that price, it is no wonder people charge $70+ for these things.

Remarks: Barrel pick by yours truly! My and pick’s are coming soon. If you live locally (Connecticut) drop me a line for more info.
